Neighbor Joining (NJ) analysis of the genetic distances estimated from the aflatoxin biosynthesis cluster. NJ of 145 Aspergillus isolates from groundnut kernels in Ethiopia based of genetic fingerprinting of 23 InDels in the aflatoxin-biosynthesis pathway. Three main groups were identified: Group I consisted mainly of A. flavus sclerotia-non producers (NPS). Group II included mainly A. flavus S-strain and A. flavus NPS, all producers of type B aflatoxin. Group III comprised primarily A. parasiticus with a small sub-clade of A. flavus S-strains, all producers of B and G aflatoxins. Symbol : indicates isolates from which their genomes have been sequenced (Arias et al. 2020). Percentage of each of the species present within each group is indicated in a separate frame
